The new Washpoint wooden soap tray will add a bit of architectural style to your vanity with carved points on the top and bottom creating a superb profile and interesting texture.  They are available in white oak, walnut, death metal (ebonized walnut), and HGTV (distressed, white washed, white oak) and are sized 1"h x 5" l x 3.5" w.  These are not intended to be submerged or used in the shower.
